From Bentley's
Pure Ceylon Tea - The Story: In the mountains along the equator grows an evergreen shrub with 5 petal blossoms, which resemble wild white roses. Legend has it that as far back as 2737 BC Emperor Chen Nug of China used to boil the leaves of this remarkable shrub in water and drank the infusion, thus beginning the ceremonious art of drinking tea. It then quickly spread to Japan and eventually to England and all of Europe. Bentley's Finest Teas are coveted by tea lovers everywhere for their full bodied fragrance and exquisite taste, the result of using only the purest ingredients available along with Ceylon's finest harvesting and processing techniques. Bentley's - appreciated by connoisseurs the world over. Packed in Sri Lanka.
Bentley's Tea are distributed by the Boston Tea Company, founded in 1949. Boston Tea Company was the first to market flavored teas with the introduction of its Boston's Mint-in-Tea, a delightful blend of orange pekoe tea and Kentucky spearmint. In 1960, the company introduced and was granted a trademark for its "Boston Tea Party" blend, which re-created a popular blend that dates back to the colonists in the 1770s. This product is a blend of fine black teas blended with orange peels and cloves--also known as orange spice tea. This product was a favorite of the first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy, who served it frequently to White House guests.
